The 1984 flows did go toward Hilo, getting to within about four miles of Kaumana City before stopping. There was no damage to developed property.

There are vents on Mauna Loa's southern flank that in the past have produced flows hitting the area that is now Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, but the last one to hit that area was in 1907, long before HOVE was established.
